Helpful beginner tips from a beginner
Hi guys, I know this set isn't the best. It is my first time trying a hard gel that isn’t just a builders gel.
The flower needed some work. I found that if I did each bead/ball of gel one by one, it wouldn’t be cohesive like I wanted.
I also learned that with the builders gel, you can only tell it was there, like I did with the bubbles, when I put a second layer on top. You can see that there is a second layer because it is more visible.
It was also a learning curve, as this is my first time using these metal beads and pearls on my nails.
Overall, this was a fun set, but take your time. Be patient, and hopefully, have a lot of time to sit down and practice because this takes a lot of work.

Working with builder gel and 3D nail art like gel flowers requires patience, practice, and understanding specific techniques to achieve professional-looking results. One key insight is that builder gel often needs to be applied in a double layer to be more visible and create durability in the design. This layering technique enhances the depth and strength of the nail art, making it stand out more clearly than a single layer. When creating 3D floral designs using gel beads, it’s important not to place each bead individually without planning. Laying all gel beads down beforehand allows them to bond cohesively during curing, producing a unified and more natural-looking flower. This approach avoids uneven textures and ensures the 3D flower maintains its shape and detail. Incorporating decorative elements like metal beads and pearls adds an exquisite touch but can present a learning curve for beginners. Properly embedding these accessories within the gel layers can secure them effectively while enhancing the nail design’s aesthetics. Taking time to experiment and gradually build confidence in using these materials will improve overall nail art quality. For beginners, it’s crucial to allocate ample time for practice and to approach nail art sessions with patience. Rushing the process can lead to imperfect application and less durable results. Creating a comfortable workspace and being meticulous with each step will yield better outcomes and help develop the skills needed for advanced nail techniques. Overall, consistent practice with builder gel layering, strategic placement of gel beads for 3D flowers, and integrating embellishments like metal beads can transform beginner nail sets into impressive works of art. Embracing this learning process will pave the way for increased proficiency and creative expression in nail technology.
Nail art is so much harder than it looks. I admire anyone who can do it well.💅
